Global Citizenship in Special Schools - 12 month project.

This piece of work involved a team that included Carolyn Hallett from the West of England School for Young People with Little or No Sight (a Food For Thought School linked with Hill Prep Integrated/Special Needs School in Kampala, Uganda); Lizzie Kolek, from Mill Water School, Honiton; Anna Farrell, a recent graduate volunteer; Sue Errington and David Weatherly at Devon Curriculum Services.

During the year, five schools worked on curriculum development projects, which the teachers presented at the Global Citizenship in Special Schools Conference on 4th July 2006.

The project established the vast range of special needs which partly explains why there are so few appropriate resources for teaching global citizenship and the global dimension.

Rather than develop resources, the project developed some guidelines for appropriate resources which it is hoped will have a positive impact on the life experience of young people with special needs.
